After a restful night sleep in Avignon, we got our Renault Scenic loaded up to hit the countryside. First we made a detour down memory lane to Tarascon where Greg and I spent our first night back in 1998 with my mom Hanny. We drove along the town to revisit those moments. It was a special treat.
Then we headed back to historical sights with a stop at the Roman Aquaduct from 50 A.D. At the Pont du Gard. This UNESCO world heritage site is s must see on anyone’s tour of the South of France. The pictures tell it all.
The day the continued with a drive to the city of Nimes where we had lunch before discovering the most preserved Roman Arena in the world. Another must see for sure. Oops, did I mention the Padtries along the way that made our afternoon even more special!
Safely tucked in at our hotel in Nimes, we all reflected on a perfect day. Good night and sleep well, more on tomorrow’s adventures when we get going.

Looking at the arena hoping to be a spectator, not a participant.
Always nice to take a trip down memory lane, especially with friends you can share them with.

It was an important closure for me with my mom. Even 12 years after her passing, the emotions and memories remain.
